The Role of Discrimination, Childhood Maltreatment, and Social Determinants of Health in Adult Bipoc Pain Disparities
Objectives Chronic pain disproportionately affects Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC). Disparities may be related to increased chronic stress due to discrimination, trauma exposure, and social determinants of health (SDoH). Methods Using data from families ( n = 1307) in the family matters study (collected 2017–2019), a secondary data analysis explored SDoH of baseline pain severity and change in pain at 18 months, and …
Associations Between Neighborhood Racialized Economic Segregation with Cardiometabolic Health and Cortisol in a Racially/Ethnically Diverse Sample of Children from Minneapolis—St. Paul
Introduction: Past research shows that structural racism contributes to disparities in cardiometabolic health among racially/ethnically minoritized populations. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined the correlation between census tract-level racialized economic segregation and child health metrics among a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of 350 children (ages 6.5-13.8) from Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. Results: A consistent cardiometabo…
Community and household-level incarceration and its association with mental health in a racially/ethnically diverse sample of families
Interpersonal Discrimination, Neighborhood Inequities, and Children's Body Mass Index: A Descriptive, Cross-Sectional Analysis
Psychosocial stressors have been implicated in childhood obesity, but the role of racism-related stressors is less clear. This study explored associations between neighborhood inequities, discrimination/harassment, and child body mass index (BMI). Parents of children aged 5-9 years from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds (n = 1307), completed surveys of their child's exposure to discrimination/harassment. Census tract data derived from addresses w…
Using a Community-Based Participatory Approach to Address Gender Equity in Academic Medicine: The Center for Women in Medicine and Science at the University of Minnesota
Many medical schools are instituting gender equity initiatives to address long-standing inequities (e.g., salary, leadership positions, resource distribution) between women and men in academic medicine. However, few theory-driven models exist with built-in metrics to assess the impact of gender equity initiatives. The authors describe the theory- and metric-driven process used to create the Center for Women in Medicine and Science (CWIMS) at the …
Household food insecurity and obesity risk in preschool-aged children: A three-year prospective study
Multicomponent Obesity Prevention Intervention in Low-Income Preschoolers: Primary and Subgroup Analyses of the NET-Works Randomized Clinical Trial, 2012–2017
Objectives. To evaluate a multicomponent obesity prevention intervention among diverse, low-income preschoolers. Methods. Parent–child dyads (n = 534) were randomized to the Now Everybody Together for Amazing and Healthful Kids (NET-Works) intervention or usual care in Minneapolis, MN (2012–2017). The intervention consisted of home visits, parenting classes, and telephone check-ins. The primary outcomes were adjusted 24- and 36-month body mass in…
